Liu Lang took Jiang Botao and the others into his office building, even though the hall was very spacious, it was still a little crowded with more than 100 people at once.

"Let's go to the conference room on the seventh floor in a while, it's even more spacious than here, Minister Jiang, there are too many people coming, let's go up together, but before that, I'll introduce our living conditions to you!"

There are elevators in the seven-story office building, but the elevators can't accommodate so many people.

"Okay, then let's take a look at your living area first, and then go to the factory later!"

Jiang Botao smiled and nodded.

"There is a kitchen, a cafeteria, and an activity room on the first floor, so come with me!"

Ten employees in the kitchen are busy for lunch, today they are eating chicken stewed mushrooms, sweet and sour pork ribs, fried hairtail, tofu, scrambled eggs with green onions and fried beans, plus fried soybeans, spicy cabbage, pickled radish and green onion dipping sauce four small pickles, the main food is rice, flower rolls and steamed buns.

"Ha, Liu Lang, your lunch is too rich, I have a great appetite!"

"Minister Jiang, there is our recipe outside, there were no sweet and sour pork ribs today, only four dishes and one soup, but there are guests coming, of course we have to add some hard dishes!"

Liu Lang pointed to a blackboard at the door, on which was pasted a recipe of the week.

"I'll see!"

Jiang Botao didn't pay attention to this recipe, and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen again, and at this time, there were already many people outside who were sighing non-stop.

"Minister, the food of NORINCO Group is really good!"

The director of Jinling Machine Tool Factory looked straight in the eyes.

On Mondays, it is stewed Sichuan white meat, stir-fried meat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried dried tofu with sauerkraut, on Tuesday it is stewed beef, fried competitive fish, sautéed beans and shredded potatoes, and on Wednesday it is boiled pork slices, fried lamb meatballs, preserved egg tofu and sauerkraut......... sauerkraut.

Jiang Botao was also dumbfounded, from Monday to Sunday, every day is four dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, basically not the same every day, this food is better than a restaurant, not to mention other factories, even the canteen of his Ministry of Industry can't compare!

"Liu Lang, it's not like you specially prepared it because we came here!"

"Minister, do you think I'm going to pull the same thing about you that you don't need?"

"Well, that's right, don't say it's me, even if Vice Premier Bai comes, you won't talk about this, wow, today I opened my eyes, you are the only one in our country's food, there is no second one! More than 200 people eat, and the food cost for a month is tens of thousands of yuan, do workers spend money on eating?"

Jiang Botao asked.

"Three meals a day, all for free, recently my workers have been working overtime until seven o'clock in the evening, so there is a supper at half past seven!"

"It's free, plus supper? It's amazing, admire it!"

Jiang Botao couldn't stop nodding, but others felt that Liu Lang had done too much.

Most factories do not have canteens, so workers only eat one lunch, and they have to bring their own meals, which are made of aluminum lunch boxes.

Usually the workers in a workshop will put the lunch boxes together, and then move them to the boiler room, and the workers in the boiler room will put these lunch boxes in the boiler steamer near noon, which is specially made for hot rice, and the boiler steam will quickly steam the rice.

Even if the factory has a canteen, it costs money for the workers to eat, usually only two or three kinds of dishes, and a meal is only about one dollar, so they can eat enough.

The factory is a place to work, not a restaurant, and it costs tens of thousands of yuan to feed the workers a month, which is a pure waste.

Some people stood in the distance and kept shaking their heads, very puzzled by Liu Lang's "wasteful" behavior.

"Minister, it's winter, there aren't many dishes, and in the summer, our dishes will be more diverse, and it will be more sumptuous at that time, if you come at that time, make sure you don't want to leave!"

Liu Lang joked.

"Liu Lang, the workers just need to eat enough, there is no need to be so extravagant, we still have to save what we should save!"

Jiang Botao also felt that it was a little "serious", so he couldn't help but persuade Liu Lang.

"Minister, my NORINCO Group is different from other factories, my employees will be the best workers in the country in the future, each of them is worth not measured by money, so many valuable talents I can't be slow, to ensure their health is the most basic principle, not only in the diet to do the best, we NORINCO Group will also organize a physical examination every year!"

"And a medical exam?"

Jiang Botao was even more surprised, cadres at or above the municipal level will only have a physical examination once a year, and the treatment of the workers who dare to love is about to catch up with the municipal cadres, Liu Lang really treats these workers as treasures.

"Alright, let's go to the cafeteria!"

Liu Lang led everyone through a double door, and suddenly opened up in front of him, this is a hall of more than 500 square meters, and rows of tables and chairs are neatly placed inside.

"This canteen is really magnificent, cleaner than the canteen of our Ministry of Industry!"

Jiang Botao couldn't stop praising him.

"There's an activity room there, too!"

Liu Lang took everyone to another hall, where there were ten table tennis tables, there were even three billiard tables, there were more than ten small tables for four people, and you could play poker together, and there were also chess tables, checkers tables, etc., and the spacious space could accommodate seventy or eighty people to move at the same time.

"Too extravagant, isn't it?"

Everyone started shaking their heads, if you can eat well and have the strength to work, then doing so much entertainment is not a proper job.

"Minister, my company's employees have a much larger workload than other companies, and they have to learn more things every day, and people will become very nervous after a long time, this is the place for everyone to relax, and we also have a video hall, which is all video tapes bought from Hong Kong Island!"

Liu Lang knew what everyone was thinking and explained directly.

"I haven't seen it, I really haven't seen it! You've set a precedent!"

Jiang Botao didn't know what to say.

They went to the second floor, where the second and third floors were dormitories, with four beds in one room, and a desk next to each bed, similar to a university dormitory.

The bedding on the bed was folded very neatly, and each room was cleaned by someone, so it was also very clean, Jiang Botao casually walked into a room, and saw that there were a few small books on each table, as well as pens and rulers or other stationery, he felt very curious, and picked up a book casually and flipped through it.

"Liu Lang, do you usually give them lessons?"

"Of course, now my main responsibility is to teach them lessons, first theory, then practice, and I want to train them into the best talents in the shortest possible time!"

"In the shortest amount of time?"

"There is no end to learning, as long as they work here, they will continue to learn forever, but the preliminary stage will be completed this year, and I am ready to start the development and production of machine tools in the second half of the year!"

"Done this year? That seems a bit short, doesn't it?"

Jiang Botao was a little unconvinced.
